this man does have class, i love his calm enthusiasm.

they won in 1987 and....again..again, again, again, again... Lancia was respected in all the word.... now, just memories

Still looks current, and timeless. One of my most favourite cars.

One of the most desirable cars ever built.

I've been following Harry's garage since the start of lock-down. I'm working my way through his back catalogue and found this one I missed. I was going to buy one from Walker's Garage in North Yorkshire in 2001, but I was working away from home and needed something that could handle 30k miles/year. In 2017 (having hit 50) I was looking for a toy and started looking at these again. After looking at a few in my price range and talking to Walker's again, I quickly realised that I would end up handing over a large chunk of my pension pot to get a good one. An opportunity missed. But a pleasure to see a real-world review. Thanks Harry

"I really like its stealthiness", drives a bright yellow car.

Was fortunate to own one some years ago. I still miss it. Sure its not as fast as some things these days, but staggeringly quick point to point even so. Every drive was memorable. Beautiful in the flesh.

Lancia started to race in late '60 and they won till they left in mid '90. Audi, Peugeot, Toyota....they all had their time but no one was winning for so long. Still today Lancia is the most iconic brand in the Rally world but they can't make a decent car since they left racing 25 years ago.

You brought a tear on my eye. My best friend's father had many of those Lancia Integrale (mind you, LanCia not LanZia) and one was exactly in the same colour. I still neatly remember the noise of those cars and the joy of sitting behind the steering wheel dreaming of Miky Biason winning another World Rally championship. What a beauty!

I love harry metcalfe... I think his videos are the best car videos on the internet. The level of detail he goes into is just staggering.

Watched this 5 years ago but worth another look.Well done Harry.Well done Lancia. Rest in peace Lancia.

Red crackle cam cover. Love it so much. So glad they made the air box on my Abarth look like that!

Owned one for 5 years. My first car. Owned many other great cars since. Delta Integrale is the greatest I ever had.

I had one from 94 to 2006. It was a dream to drive and nightmare to fix.

When I was a kid, it's what we called "beefy"! A guy in my home town had one, and it was absolutely wonderful! I always loved it so much more than the Sierra Cosworth's and Escort RS Turbo's and cossies.

I used to own an integrale 8v (non - Evo) painted in Giallo. Fantastic car!. The body tweaks to the Evo II Harry's driving made it look even cooler. Still miss mine - cue deep sigh and dreamy look....

You sum this car up absolutely dead on - I was lucky enough to own 4 of them and my last one (1995 model) I used every day through the B roads of Herefordshire. The steering, the suspension etc etc - it's just such a special car. I always loved the way it was "the real deal" and so close to the actual rally version - stuff like a radiator for the power steering - brilliant.

It's just so refreshing to listen to one of the most respected motor journalist over the past 30 years impart his pearls of wisdom to us all :-) As for this absolute belter of a hot hatch, in my opinion Lancia nailed it! - and no one has delivered the shear driving pleasure or emotions evoked when sat behind the wheel. I owned one in 1992 & still miss it dearly to this day.

Harry, you've got a lot of cool cars. Thanks for sharing them with us.

The things I would do for a car like this, horrible unspeakable things

More people need to watch this video. Harry, the level of detail you go into on these videos is amazing. Truly a world class car nut!

"It sounds like the inside of a cassette", that's a beautiful metaphor Harry! It immediately conveys the atmosphere of those times.

My dream car when I was 16. Never realized it's so tiny. Still badass.

I recall fondly so many WRC events with that wonderful car! Biasion, Alen, Kankkunen, Recalde, etc were massive stars. I was lucky enough to visit Abarth at 38 Corso Marche in Torino during those wonderful years, and see firsthand the engineering and incredible talent behind tge development of these cars. Got to drive one on several occasions, and Harry is absolutely correct about the handling and verve of this little hothatch. The ride that I received in an S4 on gravel was unforgettable! Over 50 now, so I just putter along in me old Aston, going for a picnic. Harry is the best on YT. Articulate and authentic, he is very etnest, respectful, and engaging. Hope to have him drive me old banger someday...

I've been looking for a spiritual successor to the Integrale since the 90's. Mine was a bucket of bolts but it weighed 4kg and that awd system was intuitive. You felt like a cyborg, half man half car. Absolutely amazing. Remember this thing has no traction control and it still felt so stable.

I love Harry, he drives around in a bright yellow rally car and talks about it's "stealthiness" :D

"previous owners go all wistful when you bring up the Integrale". Yep. Still my favourite driving memory. I was so stable while being supple. No SC or similar, but I've never felt more planted in a car. And yep, it's a go-kart. Really pointy.

I was lucky enough to own one of these for a few years. My dream car. What a fantastic machine, still miss it.

What many people forget is that many Italian cars have lots of little things that just drive some people nuts, and hence they sell them. The people that can forgive these little faults or personality traits, are the ones that always keep and enjoy these cars. Thanks Harry.

Lancia Delta HF Integrale! Super Hot Hatch and Rally Legend of the 80's!

Unlike Top Gear, Harry tells you stuff you'd like to know :-)

Lancia delta integrale uses a simular if not the same 2ltr non turbo fiat tipo sedicivalvole head, integrale has bronze valve guides fitted to cope with the extra heat the turbo charger system creates. I had to break an early fiat sedici that had bottom end issues and sold the head and inlet manifold to a company called red mist racing, they used to source the fiat heads and convert them for the lancia delta integrale (which was good for me recouping some cash for my dead car at the time), but the intake sound of the 16v fiat tipo sedicivalvole was very loud/impressive for a 4 pot.

I had a "normal" Delta and it is the best car I've ever owned. It got stolen and trashed, which broke my heart.

"They took a 80's hatchbackAnd won the world championship! And then thought "Well, let's do that again"- and won it again, and then again, then thought "I can't believe we gonna win it again", came up with 16 valve head and won the championship again, and then came up with the evo version- and won again, and then said "Well, that's getting a bit too easy" and gave up doing the Works entry and just supplied cars to Martini Racing- and they won the world championship for them..." Now that's what you call an epic carmaker. Too bad Fiat wasn't into reviving Lancia into a sporty company and baisically destroyed the brand by ugly economy cars.

It's really unique to have someone bring the special automobiles to life (video review and driving vs. just stills) and that is why I always come back...love the cars and I appreciate that it's shared...Thanks!

Harry, _you_ are the real deal....always love your video presentations. This car is so iconic - 6 rally championships in a row. It looks stunning in yellow. I must find one immediately!

what can i say i love them and always will.. Hell of a car, its the only thing i wanted as a kid, and still do as a 43yr old man..

Glorious, I love finding these older Harry's garage videos and massively better than the 2019 Doug DeMuro version. Thank you Harry.

Men's car.... THE QUEEN!!! ITALIANS MAKE THE BEST AUTO and BIKES... 😍😍😍😍

Such a great car. A car came out in the first version in 1979 and it's still beautifull. Amazing

God what a spectacular example of the Delta Integrale. Lucky lucky Harry!

Had the opportunity to buy one of these for great money about 20 years ago but passed it up. Have absolutely kicked myself ever since

I didn't know this car existed until Forza Motorsport 3, but now i'm madly in love with it and hot hatches.

THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CAR!

I fell in love with this car in 1996 when I first saw it in Sardinia. It was fire red and stunning.

What a car collection. This one is an absolute beauty. Brings back many memories

Another quality video from Harry. Great cars these Integrales. Owned a late Giallo Evo II for a short time in the mid 00's. Brilliant car around the Welsh hills where I live if a little fragile at times, turned heads wherever I went in it. Traded it in against a Mitsi Evo VI which was an excellent car but given the choice now it would have to be the Lancia, they just look so good...

great presentation! this gentleman is pure class! my fav car by far.

a brilliant machine with excellent analysis ...

I'm one of the misty-eyed ex-owners. Not an Evo, but a lovely black G-reg 16V that was so much fun to own and drive. Late 90's I fell in love and handed over the cash. After 6, maybe 7 years the expensive affair came to an end but if I could have it back tomorrow in the state I bought it then would do it all over again!

I've liked this car since I was a kid. I'm born in the 80ies. Never been in one, as far as I can remember.

Harry's garage : A great & amazing car...! Dream car...! Congratulations...!!!

Gorgeous car, and very explicit interview of the car Harry, congrats!

An expert with the greatest car ever build and concept.

'the Integrale wasn't a marketing special, it was the real deal', i love it Harry.

This is a dream car for every motorhead in the planet!

What a Class of Rally group A was... So many legends raced that class too. Im watching this and wishing rally went back to this more opened formats. Group B was too far, but there was lots of room for interesting rally cars well below that spec of danger.

The only car reviewer, who treats the cars with respect, and gives an honest opinion on what their like to own and drive. You somehow trust him, and if he was a prestige car salesman, you would buy a car from him.

I’ve always wanted that car, I remember painting my 1980 VW 4 door Rabbit to replicate it.

Just love this car! Back in the day, just the word "integrale" gave you goose bumps.

one exceptional presentation of the highest magnitude your gift's to us Harry are beyond comprehension!

One of the best looking cars ever👍👍

Thanks for the video! I've always loved the integrale and you make it sound even better!

One of my favourite car ,and I love your videos iv just sub to your channel, I think I could watch you all day

Love this car, great clip. Remember the Delta Integrale from when I was a kid, often cropped up in my Autocar & Motor magazines. One day...

Harry I am very grateful to you for bringing us all of these wonderful cars through your well put together videos. I've long been a car enthusiast, since I saw my dads car show photographs back when I was a kid in the 80's and I have since owned some really interesting cars like the same Clio you own, an RX7, Supra TT and Civic a type R as well as my trusty Skoda Superb 2. Keep doing what you are doing and I wish you well at Land Rover.

Another car of passion driven by a man with passion,down to earth ,has the time to explain in a very calm manner a joy to listen to . I gave up cars to go boating no speed limits no traffic jams ,space and freedom,until the lock down ,to many jet skies and paddle boards up and down the river ,but freedom at sea .If harry,s garage and Nick Burnham of Aquaholick could find an amphibious car that would be interesting .Did any one make a good one ?????????????

Harry top stuff,! He should have his own TV shows. The man is so down to earth, and he knows his cars......

Great knowledge, good production quality - beautiful car and delightful weather for once! Well done Harry.

Thank you Harry. Really, an extraordinary report about an extraordinary car. You do have class, knowledge and the gift of speech. Without a sweat you kept me curious until the end. You kick those 3 top gear clowns arses.

Brings in a lot of beautiful memories, Long live Deltas !.

Brings back many memories, Thank U

I loved this car when it came out and now allmost 30 years later still beautifull as the first date. It is TIMELESS. Had no many for hone at the time, now that i could pay for one, it is too late. My neighbourg has one and wiould not sell it for anything. Excuse my english if any fault. Mi lengua nativa es otra. Thanks for the video.

The Best rally car ever

What a great looking car! I love you're excitement Harry!

Thanks for making these videos and sharing such beautiful machines with us.

Awesome car !

Gosh how I miss mine.... One car I should never have sold!

grazie Lancia per aver costruito un mito

Great video, thanks! I sold mine (perfect, original) about 10 years ago.. I just have to buy another Integrale!

"I really rather like it's stealthness" It's bright yellow! 8)

You have an impeccable taste in cars

this car never goes "ugly", One of my all time favorite!

Love these kind of informative reviews where you explain the entire history and reasoning behind the car. Would be amazing to see you do more of these, for cars like the xj220 and E type (seeing that you work for Jag), the Ferrari f50, detomaso pantera, Delorean, original skyline, SLR mclaren, datsuns, or anything else with some history that you can get your hands on.

fantastic orchestration with a clear explanation

I sold my Integrale for what seems peanuts now back in 2001, I just couldn't live with it. I still regret it to this day..

The most beautiful yellow coloured car

before the road test im in love. just have a soft spot for all old Lancia's. did thing's in a way lost today :(

When I was a teenager the car-magazine I always bought (Autogids) used to have one long article by Paul Frère, a retired racing driver with a lot of charisma and joie de vivre, who was often called the nobleman of autosport because of his gentleman like behaviour and eloquent style of talking and writing. He had countless fascinating stories to tell an did so with a passion and love for automobiles that really radiated through his articles and got the reader fascinated from the get go. But above all he knew what he was talking about. Many other journalists had, and still have, the tendency to parrot all the stuff they get to hear on the press event from the constructors which often resulted in a well intended article, but a commercial almost, often with “findings” about for instance the handling of the car that were clearly coloured by the press talk they got from some well spoken engineer. But Frère always judged the cars by what he actually experienced and had the ability to explain the most complex technical issues in a very clear and accessible manner that really gave you insight in the actual functioning of just about anything. Paul Frère is no longer with us but if he still was he’d love this channel. I know I do, and when I watch one of Harry’s videos I somehow feel like that young lad again, eager to learn everything about cars, looking forward to the new edition of Autogids and always saving that one special article till the end, like the cherry on top of the cake. Harry’s videos are like that too, you take the time for it, you pour yourself a drink or a nice cup of tea and you just let the man talk and enjoy the magic.

Really good video thank you for sharing this absolute masterpiece.

one of the legends ....side by side with the audi quattro ...the rs cosworth...and the escort mk2 ...!!!

A pal of mine has one of these. I occaisionally navigate for him. The car gets huge attention especially in Europe.

Its bloody gorgeous !!

What a stunning machine.

best car review show on the internet

lovely videos. Beautifully presented background information and detail

What happened to Lancia in recent years is a true tragedy. Especially since they more or less ended the brand with that abomination they dared to call a "Delta". I was a teen in the 80s and the Integrale was what we all dreamed of back then. Until we found out about its price, that is .. ;)

all those cars that ive been hearing from since i was a kid, you've got the job dude

Great car and nicely presented Harry, I'm Lancia fan owning a 2000HF coupe and a Fulvia 1300s. Keep them coming. Cheers Bob

If The Big Bopper from Madmax was italian! Love these cars. Gatwick airport use to have a simulator of the Juha Kankkunen's intergrale.
